Abstract

Advances in hardware performance and in the understanding of the human factors involved when interacting with computers have caused a revolution in the quality of the user interface provided to many software systems. WIMP interfaces, hypermedia systems and WYSIWYG word processors are just three examples which appear to increase the usability of computer systems to non-specialist users. Such interfaces improve access by providing methods for using the facilities which seem to be more direct and intuitive to many users.
